Ontario Opens Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment Hub in Sudbury
Province supporting community safety and addiction recovery with 28 HART Hubs delivering care across Ontario
The Ontario government is expanding access to high-quality mental health and addictions care with the launch of a new Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hub in Sudbury. This is part of the province’s almost $550 million investment to open 28 HART Hubs across Ontario to protect the safety of children and families, while improving access to recovery and treatment services for people facing housing instability, mental health and substance use challenges.
"We are building a stronger, more connected system of mental health and addictions care that better reflects the needs of communities and focuses on lasting recovery,” said Vijay Thanigasalam, Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. “The opening of this new HART Hub will ensure that people struggling with mental health and addictions challenges in the Greater Sudbury area can access compassionate care and support services that prioritizes their path to recovery and strengthen community safety.”
HART Hubs connect people to a range of comprehensive treatment and recovery services such as primary care, mental health services, addictions care, social services and employment support.
The Sudbury HART Hub will deliver services in collaboration with partners including Health Sciences North, the City of Greater Sudbury, Shkagamik-Kwe Health Centre, Monarch Recovery Services, the Canadian Mental Health Association – Sudbury/Manitoulin and the Northern Initiative for Social Action (NISA) beginning on February 17th, 2026.
The Hub brings together a collaborative network of clinical, social service and care providers working to deliver services tailored to local needs, including:
- Mental health services
- Addictions services
- Primary care
- Mobile care community outreach
- Mental health and addictions supportive housing and transitional housing
- Social supports including peer support and skill-building programming
Through Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care and building on the Roadmap to Wellness, the province is taking action to connect individuals to integrated mental health and addictions services, where and when they need it.
